      <p class="para_division">Moving from I-deas to NX is a three-step process: </p>
      <ol type="1" start="1">
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Move your TDM metadata to Teamcenter.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Use both NX and I-deas in a shared data environment. You may gradually transition by starting new models in NX. You may choose to migrate the boundary representation of some I-deas parts into NX to use them in NX assemblies before you commit to fully migrating the part history to NX.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Migrate the content of your CAD data from I-deas to NX.</p>
         </li>
      </ol>
      <p class="para_division">Although three distinct steps are shown, these steps can overlap. For example, you might migrate your metadata one project at a time, but you might migrate the content one assembly or one part at a time, as you need them.</p>

      <div class="title_division">How do I determine when I should migrate?</div>
      <p class="para_division">UGS can perform a migration <a class="links" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="top.openFile('roadmap/10qt_migration_4.html');return(false);">audit</a> of your data that will help you determine how and when to migrate. The audit requires that representatives from UGS spend approximately 1-2 days at your site to gather information. Then, after we review and analyze the information, we&rsquo;ll provide you with a report that will contain the following:
      </p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">A recommended roadmap for your TDM migration to Teamcenter.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">An estimate of the effort that will be required to migrate from I-deas to NX. This estimate is based on your specific data and processes.</p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <p class="para_division">Audits are currently ongoing and can be scheduled and coordinated through your UGS sales representative.</p>
